About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

I'm just one person, and my programming needs are somewhat unusual (building various kinds of statistical forecasting models). But I'm just not seeing the consistent productivity gains from LLMs that I would have expected if you'd asked me 6 months ago.

The new interview with the vampire is genuinely one of the best things on tv currently. weird, dirty, mean, actually thinking through the implications of what race-swapping a character in a historical drama means. The fact that Jacob Anderson hasn’t won the Emmy is a crime.

Its almost like anti-porn laws are never actually about porn. 🤔

Mike Stabile @mikestabile.bsky.social · 2d

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

I used to get mad when people misused "decimated" to refer to things that weren't 1/10th destroyed, but I've given it some thought and now I've done a complete 360 on it

My big conspiracy is that due to our overall systemic decline in both cultural literacy and actual literacy we have spawned a generation of people who don’t even know how to get horny anymore

Yesterday I spoke to both my democratic congresswoman and my republican governor in person. The congresswoman said she's trying to make a deal with Republicans. The governor told me he's not afraid of being sued while pursuing his goals

In video games, you will often find a fully roasted chicken abandoned on the ground, and eating it extremely quickly makes you feel better. What's less known is that this is also true in real life

so, uh, I guess the studio responded to this by replacing their website art!

(not gonna lie, I'm torn between "lol, lmao" and "hm, that's a bit of an immature response from a professional game studio")

A screenshot of the Sackbird website that shows their social media icons replaced with intentionally bad MS Paint-style art

A screenshot of the Sackbird website which used to have an AI-generated skyline of Baltimore, and now has an intentionally shitty bunch of brown boxes labelled as "Fort McHenry" and "Sackbird Studios" in Comic Sans. It has clearly been drawn in MS Paint in about 5 minutes
